Unite update

Over a month now, and that wasn't my first e-mail, still no response

Get a life, said anonymous

Spoken like a true UPS Manager, anonymously.

At least you've acknowledged UPS ruined my life.

I am about to get a life. Be careful what you wish for.

It is your choice to read what I have posted, you are entitled to your opinion.

I note that there have been no anonymous replies. No-one prepared to try and prove me wrong?

Here's a scenario for you to contemplate, next time you read your contract.


Why is no-one from C & E asking me questions?
Why is nobody from Security asking me questions?
Why are employees scared to come back to me with any information? (and I don't mean those Managers that lied giving evidence for my grievance hearing. They are plenty of employees on this list who knew what was going on at Dewsbury, and other centres)
Why is nobody trying to prove me wrong? 

I never claimed to be smart

But to yet another anonymous poster,

I think you may have missed the point about hacking. (See Dave's comments)

If one account is blocked, you would assume another account would also be blocked.

I'm so stupid I assumed the CEO would be honest.

I'm so stupid I assumed the District Manager would be honest.

I'm so stupid I assumed the Country Manager would be honest.


I'm so stupid I assumed the Division Managers would be honest.

I'm so stupid I assumed the Centre Managers would be honest.

I'm so stupid I assumed that HR would be honest.

I'm so stupid I assumed that Compliance and Ethics would be honest.

I'm so stupid I assumed that Policies and Procedures would be followed.

I'm so stupid I assumed that the Policy Book would be followed.

I'm so stupid I assumed the Code of Business Conduct would be followed.

Just shows how wrong you can be.

I'm guessing most of you know how corrupt the Company is. Go and read your contract, I'll explain later.

Strange no-one has proved me wrong about any of these issues.

     & the deed is done

To my UPS mailing list

I would have thought that the blocking of my e-mails to you would be an ethical and integrity issue.
How many other e-mails have you not received?

Will any of you be reporting these integrity issues as per the Business Ethics Questionnaire?

Question 17 Are you aware of any situation where an employee has purposely destroyed or was directed to destroy documents (electric or hard copy) outside of the proper retention schedule or to prevent implication in any fraudulent activity.

Question 25 reads Have you violated or are you aware of any violations of the UPS Code of Business Conduct or any other Compliance and Ethics related policies and programs. 

Re question 17. You know that Steve O'Donnell destroyed the Tachograph infringement letters.
Re question 25. Maybe you side with CIPD and don't believe there is anything on my blog that is honest or accurate.

You are aware of these issues. You should now report them on the next BEQ.

(I find print screen helps me remember all this stuff.)

I doubt that Compliance and Ethics will be busy.

Stand by, I'm going in. Deploy all weapons.

CIPD - Result

Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, As I predicted

Dear Mr Whitehead, please find below the decision of the Designated Member in respect of your complaint.  His decision is final and absolute and this concludes the CIPD’s involvement with the issues you raised. Thank you for drawing your concerns to our attention.

Regards

Marianne Wyles

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I concur with the decision made by Marianne Wyles as outlined in her email of 19 September,2012.

In summary, I agree that the evidence available to Marianne on 19 September was insufficient evidence to establish that the complaint made by Mr Whitehead is admissible under the CIPD Code of Professional Conduct.

Welcome to New Zealand and Lithuania.

Maybe it's time to plug Manning again

Why did you only get one e-mail, and only when I used a different e-mail address? Why would UPS want to block my e-mails? Is it because in less that a week I have had more than 1500 hits? Why would anyone want to hack into an e-mail from Jordans Solicitors, then cock up and send me the cut version? Why would anyone reading my blog be worried about retribution?

Read my post on hoped achievements. I'm trying to look after UPS employees or have you missed what actually goes on in UPS. It's all real. It could happen to you. What would you do then? Should UPS feel the need to discipline you at any point, or you want to raise a grievance, I hope you've read up on the cons that are on here.

I think that is more than "a few"

That's virtually every single Manager that I've ever had any contact with. All are prepared to bury their heads in the sand. Why? Bullying? Retribution?

Dedicated to this cause? How do you work that one out? We had a meeting last Thursday re. the church website. At that point there was nothing other than the home page. In a week I've done most of this, http://www.longcauseway.org.uk/ whilst working from 7.00 to around 17.30 each day and travelling into Leeds. That's not dedication to my UPS cause. It doesn't mean I haven't had chance to do this though.

And lets see UPS block this :-)

But that's just a sort through relevant files and cataloging them into order

See previous posts for pictures of my files on Centreboards, Tachographs, VOSA etc.

Insult everyone? "Most likely" isn't everyone. There would n't be many people on the mailing list who haven't turned a blind eye to integrity or bullying issues.

A challenge to all anonymous's.

You have seen the level of integrity issues throughout the Company, we'll ignore bullying for now. I challenge any of you to raise these issues with security or compliance and ethics and see what happens.

To help you;

cdrobbins@ups.com

rgrimes@ups.com

Both of these worked in Compliance and Ethics, or alternatively you can go through the helpline, you can even do it on-line as well now, so you will get a reference number as proof you've contacted them.

Promptly, discreetly, professionally

If that doesn't work, try the top man.

scottdavis@ups.com

But I guarantee he'll ignore you. You're beneath him and unworthy of an answer.

Let me know how you go on. While you're at it, try find one shred of my information posted on here about UPS that isn't genuine.

"sent an e-mail looking for support" did you look at the original date on that e-mail?
I didn't get any support because UPS felt the need to block it.

Every year Supervisors and Managers have to complete integrity questionnaires. How many employees failed to complete those honestly?

"But for the employees of UPS, who rely on their pay packet"
What do you think I can acheive?
Are you worried for the Company?
Could it go the way of the News of the World?

What are your views on phone hacking? Should the NOTW have been allowed to get away with that? Should MP's not be reported for fiddling their expenses? Should Jimmy Savile be left untouchable? or is it just NIMBY.

Should Nigel Harnell have been dismissed for refusing to drive a defective vehicle?
Should drivers be forced to stay out until 8,9,10 O'clock?

What? Scott Fowler denies that? Have you played the clip on the right hand side?

Would you be surprised if that whole section was missing from the disciplinary meeting notes taken by Paul Mooney?
Would you be surprised that when I asked Roger Mays to clarify what had been said, specifically about the 8,9,10 O'clock, he failed to answer every time?
Would you be surprised if that piece was in my notes?

Beware the Ides of UPS

Simon Reevell MP

& why did I contact him?

To protect all workers, something the Union have ignored.

To get a change in the laws on grievances.

The statutory right has been removed, now its just a code of practice.

It would seem that as long as you have a procedure, there is no need to follow it.

i.e. you can just run the clock down deliberately and snuff out time constraints on other issues.

Is that fair on employees anywhere? Not just UPS.

Where is the integrity in that practice? Even if it is legal.
